WWE fans were left buzzing after a shocking return on Monday Night Raw, as Rusev stormed back onto the scene during the highly anticipated Raw After WrestleMania at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The April, 202 episode, airing live on Netflix at PM ET/5 PM PT, saw the former United States Champion interrupt a tag team title segment between The New Day and Alpha Academy, setting the stage for chaos.
As the lights dimmed and new entrance music blared, Rusev marched to the ring to a thunderous ovation. The New Day quickly exited, leaving Otis and Akira Tozawa vulnerable. Rusev unleashed a brutal assault, finishing with his signature Accolade submission on Otis, and posed triumphantly as the crowd erupted with chants of “Rusev Day!”1.
Rusev’s return marks his first WWE appearance since a multi-year stint in AEW, where he competed as Miro. His comeback has already shaken up the Raw roster, leaving fans and Superstars alike wondering who will be next in his sights.
Wondering what time Raw starts? WWE Monday Night Raw airs live every Monday at PM Eastern / 5 PM Pacific on Netflix. With Rusev back and the fallout from WrestleMania still unfolding, tonight’s Raw is must-see TV.
